Upon application of NORTH FORK BAPTIST CHURCH, C.R. 48, Mattituck,
NY (by Gerry L. Horton) for a Variance to the Zoning Ordinance, Article
III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, for approval of lot having insuffi-
cient area and frontage along Westphalia Road, Mattituck, NY; County
Tax Map Parcel ID No. 1000-141-02-021.1.
The board made the following findings and determination:
By this appeal, appellant seeks a variance to Article III, Section
100-31, Bulk Schedule, of the Zoning Code for approval of a proposed
Lot #3 of this proposed three-lot Minor Subdivision located at Matti-
tuck, NY. Parcel No. 1 would contain an acreage of 2.14; Parcel No. 2
would contain an area of 40,013 square feet, and Parcel No. 3 would
contain an area of 20,000 square feet. Parcels 1 and 2 would have
a frontage along C.R. 48 of 243.96 feet and 254.36 feet respectively;
and Parcel No. 3 would have frontage along Westphalia Avenue of 100
feet.
Article III, Section 100-31, Bulk Schedule, of the Zoning Code
as amended May 16, 1983, requires a minimum lot area of 80,000 square
feet and a minimum lot width (road frontage) of 200 feet for parcels
in the "A" Residential and Agricultural District. It is noted for
the record that prior to May 16, 1983, the Bulk Schedule required a
minimum lot area of 40,000 square feet and a minimum lot width of
150 feet.
Upon inspection of the premises in question, the board finds
the following structures existing: Parcel 1: church, two portable
structures, 1½-story frame house, concrete basketball court and
an accessory building to the northeasterly-most side; Parcels 2
and 3 are vacant.
In considering this appeal, the board determines: (1) that
the variance request is substantial in relation to the requirements
of the zoning code; (by more than 50%); (2) that the difficulty can
be obviated by a method feasible to appellant other than a variance;
(3) that the circumstances herein are not unique; and (4) that by
allowing the variance, detriment to adjoining properties may be
created. (OVER)
